Your Coppell Emergency Dentist

Unfortunately, you can’t plan for a dental emergency—they tend to happen when they happen. But rest assured, if you’re experiencing a dental emergency, the team at Sandy Lake Dental & Orthodontics is here to help.

Our office in Coppell, TX opens early, closes late, and we’re even here on Saturdays. If you’re having an emergency and need to see someone, we can usually provide same-day care. Plus, our doctors are preferred providers for all major dental insurance carriers, which eliminates at least one worry for anyone with an urgent care need.

If you find yourself in any of these situations, call us first:

Knocked out tooth

Chipped, cracked, or broken tooth

Broken or lost dental work (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures)

Severe toothache

Large object caught between teeth

Injured or swollen gums

Swelling in the jaw

In fact, you should put our number in your phone right now so you don’t have to look it up while injured. Those precious moments matter when you’re in pain. We’ll make an appointment to see you as soon as possible and our highly-skilled team will walk you through basic first-aid.

What you should do after you call us:

Find the lost tooth/dental work if possible. For a tooth, only pick it up by the crown, never the root.

Gently rinse it off with water.

Place the tooth back in your mouth (if possible) or in a container of milk or saltwater.

Rinse your mouth gently with warm water.

Use a cold compress to manage the pain and swelling

Ideally, have someone else drive you to our office.

We hope that you never experience a dental emergency, but if you do, we’ll take care of you.
